DeltaLink Setup

  1. Prepare the Topcon Total Station attached to the Delta Link:
    1. Level the Total Station by lining up the display screen on the Total Station between two screws on the bottom of the unit and with the laser lining up with the third screw

    2. Using the left thumb rule(the bubble moves in the direction of the left thumb)with the two screws lined up with the display screen, slowly turn them towards or away from each other to move the bubble to the center
    3. Slowly turn the screw lined up with the laser to raise the bubble up and into the center circle (NOTE:  Don’t move the Topcon after leveling or you will have to start over)
  2. Configure the Total Station:
    1. Log into the DeltaLink using any of the methods shown in step #17 above
    2. Click DELTALOG

      2. Status should change to Ok

    4. Enter a name for the Total Station in the Station ID box (NOTE:  A name is necessary before setting up a measuring schedule and the Bubble Reading boxes won’t populate without one)
    5. Check the checkbox for Laser On to turn on the laser
    6. Place a prism within view of the Total Station
    7. Click ADD; Click EDIT; Enter a name in the Name field; Click OK
